Trains across the world are running to timetable and arriving at their destinations safely using innovative technology developed by mathematicians at the University of South Australia.
Our researchers in partnership with the TTG Transportation Technology devised a train driver advice system called Energymiser.
The system continually calculates the most efficient way to complete a journey, accounting for track gradients, speed and power limits; advising the driver when to apply power, maintain speed, coast and brake, all whilst reconciling against the timetable.
Energymiser is now in use on more than 4,000 trains across the UK, Belgium, Spain, France, Germany, China, India, Australia and New Zealand.
UniSA and TTG’s jointly developed product has earned multiple awards, including an Australian Export Award, NSW Premier’s Export Award and Australian Rail Industry Award, and put the company on track for global growth.
At the Industrial AI Research Centre we can provide cutting-edge expertise to produce future-ready solutions tailored to each challenge. If you would like further information about our collaboration opportunities please contact us.
